This article is a bit of a blow for those who say that benefits put people on the poverty line. That can't be true if you're unemployed with no savings yet you've got cash for a long-hall flight (maybe £500 plus all the add-ons involved with travel), then a grand for a visa application and that's not counting the lost benefits whilst you're abroad and not available for work. Surely many working people would struggle with those costs? What's going on in broken Britain?
